wanna run em at 4 ohms? http://www.gmtruckclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27788
why should it be 2 ohm stable? cause did u open that link? on the wireing it says 2 ohm on the amp but i want to run everythink at 4 ohms cause i dont wanna over or under power the subs. can u explain a little bit more
would this amp be good? Kenwood KAC-9103D
 
You need a MONO amp that is 2 ohm stable. Using a 2 channel amp would NOT be ideal in your situation. You need to wire your subs in parallel for a 2 ohm load.

DUDE the ohms has nothing to do with "over or underpowering the subs".You have to match the subwoofers impedance with the amp for the best performance.

Im not talking about a 2 ohm STEREO stable amp, i mean 2 ohm mono stable. You are a newb obviously, please listen to us that know what we are talking about.

The second diagram has you wiring a 2 channel amp in 4 ohm stereo, which is NOT ideal, and will only give you ~half the possible power of the amp.

The first diagram is correct. A mono amp, that is 2 ohm stable, subs wired in parallel. It looks like your subs can handle 400 RMS watts a piece, so an amp like the kicker zx750.1 would be PERFECT.

(kenwood aint the best brand dude. I mean, they have their fans, and some people like them, but remember, you get what you pay for!)
